Subject:APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to renew a contract for an additional
year with Kluber & Associates
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Of the 46 firms contacted 11 submitted Letters of Interest and SOQ’s. Special Districts
chose 3 firms based on their unique qualifications. Kluber & Associates was one of the
firms selected. Special Districts requires a landscape architectural firm to ensure that the
landscape areas it manages are designed, constructed and maintained in accordance with
the Public Works Department’s Landscape Standards. Additionally, a firm is needed to
provide playground safety inspections, maintenance inspections, design work and similar
services. Services are paid by developer fees and through various Special Districts funds.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without Board approval, Special Districts will not be able to provide these services with
the required level of expertise needed to ensure that the landscape areas it manages are
designed, constructed and maintained in accordance with the Public Works Department's
Landscape Standards.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not Applicable.
